I have the same drive and it worked for me.

I'm unsure about the 8x. I can only let you know how I got on with my current drive the 16x. I've just ordered the liteon 24x, I hope this is a good move and not a bad move. I was thinking of purchasing the Plextor 24/10/40a but was adivsed to go for the Liteon, WHY? I have no idea. If anyone can let me know which is the better drive or if the liteon isn't as good then let me know asap so I can cancel and re order the plex 24x!!

my friend has the plex 24x speed and he loves it ...he/she has given and been able to copy those SD2 games and everything else with ease...but i think the fight between plex and lite-on both come up on top .....

Hi, I have the 1210a, (I don't know the TLA #; Is there a way to find that without opening the case?), Firmware is 1.05 (I downgraded from 1.08 a week ago, BEFORE I tried the new CCD w/AWS). I have successfully burned: Diablo 2 and it's Expansion Heroes of Might & Magic 3 Complete Quake 2 ver. 3.20 Civ 3 StarWars B. G. so far... All work in Toshiba, Lite-On, and Memorex CDrom drives. Yeah! Hope this helps, NightOwll

ohh shoot...i realize that civ 3 doese have SD2...if you dont mind can you make another copy of it using the latest firmware for your plex and tell me the settings that you used for both reading and writing??? if so thanks...!!!

I Have the plex 16 and i have tried to copy delta force land warrior and the copy only works if i write it to a cdrw if i write it to a cdr it will not run i don't know why but it happens and i'm sure that i've used the correct options for reading and writing so don't ask if someone could try to copy that game with the same recorder and post the result it would be nice thanks

Liteon24x!!! Why spend more when it does the same thing andprobability better. With the money you save buy at liteon 16x dvd then you can copy anything and with the rest of the money you saved buy a few hundred cdr's!!! Just use the dvd as the reader and you wouldn't have a problem!!!! I have the liteon24x burner it's great. Happy Burning.

i have a plex 24x speed and i love it ...just ordered the 8x speed plex which with the new clone cd it can copy SD2 and anything else correctly...why spend a lot of money at this point when with just a little bit knowledge can go a long way !!!! but anyway we are all jovial since no protection can stop us now!!!!
